Happy Saturday!

Can you believe that anybody would want to interview me?

It’s true.  In fact I didn’t quite know how to react when John Karnish contacted me a few months ago with the idea of interviewing me for his new book he was writing about safelist marketing.

Of course I agreed.

And now you can read that interview at Safelist Experts Tell All.

Let me tell you a little about how this all came about because I think this is really great.

I’ve talked before about how important it is for you to have your own product but I can understand that not everyone out there is the greatest writer.  I’ve mentioned that one way to get around this is to simply do an interview with someone who knows more about a subject than you do.

And that’s exactly what John did.

John contacted myself and three other big name safelist marketers and asked us the important questions that everybody needs to know about marketing with safelists.

The result is that John now has his own ebook jam packed with quality content and he only had to write about one page himself.

Pretty clever, right?

What’s also great is that John is giving everyone who signs up for his free ebook access to his affiliate program that pays 75% commissions on the one-time-offer.

And let me just say something about this one-time-offer.  I think John is nuts!
This thing is waaaay underpriced.  Even if you don’t buy it yourself (and you
should because it’s a steal) you’ll have no problem converting any free members you send to his site.

So, what are you waiting for?

It’s really good!

I know because I wrote 1/4 of it

It’s November 1st and that means it’s time to check my stats to find the best places to advertise.  I decided to change the title this month to focus on safelists because let’s face it, that’s mostly where I am advertising.

As usual, I am advertising my splash pages from Safelist Marketing Tactics.

I’ve been looking forward to checking out last month’s stats for awhile.  Partially because I have been testing out some new safelists and I wanted to see how they stack up against the competition.

I just pulled up my stats a little while ago and I have to say that the results were very poor.  Looks like i’ve had a huge drop in the number of sign-ups i’ve been receiving from safelists all across the board.  I think this means it’s time to get off my butt and start testing out some new splash pages.

I did find a new safelist that is producing better than expected results for me.  Smart Safelist currently has less than 2000 members but is giving me excellent results even as a free member.  They seem to have a good grasp of just giving out just enough credits to keep people coming back and reading their emails every day.  Worth checking out.

Last month I mentioned that I had started seeing a drop in the response from AdTactics since they changed to a 3-day mailer (send 1 email every 3 days) for free members.  I spoke with the owner about it and he said I was the only person who was having a problem with it and that others had seen increased response.  They are trying it out now as a 2-day mailer.  My sign-ups went up last month but only slightly.  We’ll have to see how it works after I get my new splash page up and running.

That’s all the news.  Let’s see who’s on top this month.

ViralAdStore – Hits: 1,811  Clicks: 89  Sign-ups: 20
List Auction – Hits: 1,354  Clicks: 90  Sign-ups: 17
List Joe – Hits: 1,766  Clicks: 111  Sign-ups: 15
Got Safelist? – Hits: 2,942 Clicks: 47  Sign-ups: 7
Elite Safelist – Hits: 1,746  Clicks: 32  Sign-ups: 7

It’s nice to see Elite Safelist back on top again.  Very surprised to see Got Safelist? only got me 7 sign-ups though when I had 17 last month.  That’s with an upgraded membership too.  Not very good.

I guess that’s about it for this month.  Hopefully I will find the time to make some new splash pages after my new website launches on Wednesday.  Oh, did I mention I am launching a new website on Wednesday?  I don’t want to “give away” too much info yet.  You’ll just have to wait and see for yourself.
